A serene portrait by Paula Modersohn-Becker depicts a child with eyes closed, draped in a white cloth. The muted palette and expressive brushwork create a contemplative mood.
Paula Modersohn-Becker (1876-1907) was a German painter and one of the most important early Expressionists. Her brief but productive career produced innovative portraits and still lifes, often characterised by simplified forms and a focus on the human figure. She was part of the artistic community in Worpswede, Germany, which attracted artists seeking a rural setting and a return to nature. Her work anticipated many of the developments of 20th-century modernism. This painting presents a close-up view of a child's face, eyes closed in what appears to be sleep or contemplation. The child is draped with a white cloth that covers the head and shoulders, creating a sense of enclosure and serenity. The colour palette is restrained, dominated by muted tones of white, cream, and flesh, set against a dark background. The brushwork is visible and expressive, adding texture and depth to the image. The focus is on the child's face, rendered with sensitivity and a degree of abstraction that is typical of Modersohn-Becker's style.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
